Of maybe 400 enlisted programmers at my base Why do they have actual members of the military doing office work? It's not like the military has a problem with just hiring people; my dad has been an employee of the U.S. army since 1981.
it wont inspire students to learn and retain knowledge. Only parents/peers/culture can do that. Changing the threshold of adulthood from 18 to whenever you graduate high school would probably help, too.
The frustrating thing about Guitar Hero is that I tried it the first time with an idea in my head of what it was going to be: Only in-key notes are available No buzz or accidentally damped notes Notes automatically come out in an appropriate style (palm muted, distorted, etc.) for the song auto-chording, and maybe auto-arpeggios where appropriate.
I still think something like that could work well and have beginners playing something decent within an hour or two. A system where you either do it right or nothing happens is kinda pointless.
It even confuses the Polyamory friends I have. They dont go up to everyone and say, "I'm poly" have a poly pride sticker on their car, etc... I've known plenty of polamorous people like that, and probably went through a bit of it myself in my early 20's. I expect the ones you know have just been poly for longer (and actually dealt with their SO dating someone they don't much like).
Even in bomber design, the B17 was designed to make sure the bloody thing got home, the Lancaster had less then half the defensive armament but three times the bomb load, it was designed to make sure it did some bloody damage. Keep in mind, the British did their bombing at night, which was much less dangerous.
Royal Navy light carriers (Invincible class) have ski-jump take-off runways, and no arrestor gear, so I think the Harriers would have to land vertically.
I see your point about the ship pitching up and hitting the plane harder than intended, but Harrier landings tend to be rough a lot, anyway. I'm not sure you would need to do anything different just because there's one more thing that could make it rough.
My aunt is in her late thirties and has a mental disability. She could in no way give informed consent. On the other hand, is it really fair to condemn her to never getting to have sex?
Well, it could have been worse. It could have been SPARC. What's wrong with SPARC? I took SPARC assembler and x86 assembler during the same semester my first time through college (i.e., before I dropped out), and it made the x86 class pretty unpleasant. SPARC actually left you the impression that somebody put some thought into it before they started making them.
And the Am29000 fixed the register waste that was always the downside of register window systems. It was reasonably successful, too, but AMD needed every engineer they had to be working on x86, so it was killed.
Here's what I did to set mine up: Make a digital connection to an LCD display. Turn on the PS3. Pick a screen resolution (it was able to auto-detect the 1920*1080 native). Create 3 user accounts. Find the WiFi MAC address to add to my router's filter. Enter the WiFi security info. Update the operating system from the disk in the box. Update the operating system again, downloading from the internet to the hard drive. Register my BlueTooth keyboard and mouse with the PS3. Install the Folding@Home client, and then an update from the internet.
I'm not trying to argue for some Quaker type of lifestyle; I fully love progress/tech/etc I think you mean Amish. Quakers use technology as much as anyone else.
0.25mm is hardly nanoscale. It's not even milli-scale! True, but it's small enough for an awful lot of surgical purposes. It could be enough to remove (in very small pieces) a lot of previously inoperable tumors, for instance.
They're old enough to consent, but god forbid I videotape it for later. I'm actually cool with that. Recordings are a lot more likely to cause trouble in their lives than just having sex.
What I think is perverse is that someone could be old enough to have sex with you, but not to *watch* a video of you having sex.
Their CD prices and selection were always worse than Best Buy's, so they didn't have such a stream of people coming through who might wander over and look at electronics.
I don't run a datacenter, but I sure would like to get rid of the power bricks that all small electronic appliances seem to come with these days! We (EPA?) should start with standardizing 12 volt DC connectors to let a PC run directly off of a UPS without going through the DC->AC->DC pass.
I mean my GOD, is it EXPENSIVE. When you are faced with tens of thousands of dollars in startup costs and free how can you compare that? Unless you're in some business that fundamentally deals with tons of data, SQL Server, Oracle and DB2 are all going to be free in your early days. They all have Express Editions that are free for even commercial purposes if you have less than four GB of data.
I know that when it comes to performance and scaling issues it doesn't compare to Oracle, but honestly, not everyone has applications that need that level of performance. I hear people say this kinda stuff all the time, but I've pretty much come to expect much lower performance from the Oracle setup we have here (with a lot less data) than from the SQL Server 2000 setup we had at my old employer. Some of that is almost certainly hardware, but there are also a lot more cases where I'll have to jump through bizarre hoops to keep the Oracle optimizer from doing something stupid.
People want Microsoft SQL and Exchange only because it's Microsoft--the same as their office software and operating system. Exchange, maybe, but I think you'll find more shops running Windows Servers because they want SQL Server and.Net web development tools than because they want to just have one vendor. A lot of people actually like those, and after 19 months in an Oracle shop, I'm missing SQL Server, myself.

My two year old Sharp Aquos has a darker black than the 25 year old Admiral CRT it replaced, but that might not exactly be a fair comparison.

Is this going to be a brand-new start? Didn't they buy Be a few years ago to build their new OS versions around BeOS?
they declared the PS3 to be a "computer system"
Here's what I did to set mine up:
Make a digital connection to an LCD display.
Turn on the PS3.
Pick a screen resolution (it was able to auto-detect the 1920*1080 native).
Create 3 user accounts.
Find the WiFi MAC address to add to my router's filter.

Update the operating system from the disk in the box.

Register my BlueTooth keyboard and mouse with the PS3.
Install the Folding@Home client, and then an update from the internet.
That sounds like a computer system to me.

take Pi for instance. 22/7 is exact
Pi is irrational. That means no fraction is exactly correct.
Not watching porn. Making porn.
Then how do you explain their abysmal sales?
Mostly by the fact that DVDs have become a lot better deal than CDs.
They're old enough to consent, but god forbid I videotape it for later.

I currently make $78k...
My house is set at 45 degrees. I've shut off my hot water heater and shower at the gym.
SCROOOOOOOGE!!!
intersex and transgender
Aren't those mutually exclusive?
